    • supportive tissues: renal capsule, adipose capsule, renal fascia
  6. lecture notes
  7. Kidney internal anatomy:
    • cortex: outermost layer
    • medulla: middle layer
    • medulla or renal pyramids - base and apex
    • renal papilla
    • renal columns
    • lobes
    • renal pelvis: continues as the ureter
    • major calyx
    • minor calyx
    • pelvis
    • ureter

  10. lecture notes
  11. Nephron:
    • structural and functional unit of the kidney
    • consists of glomerulus and renal tubule
  12. lecture notes
  13. glomerulus (renal corpuscle):
    • knot of fenestrated capillaries
    • glomerulus capsule (Bowman’s capsule): parietal capsular layer, visceral capsular layer
    • podocytes
    • vascular pole
    • urinary pole
    • urinary space
  14. lecture notes
  15. renal tubule:
    • proximal convoluted tubule
    • loop of Henle
    • collecting system
    • juxtaglomerular apparatus
  16. lecture notes
  17. loop of Henle
    • descending
    • ascending
    • distal convoluted tubule
  18. lecture notes
  19. collecting system:
    • collecting tubes
    • collecting ducts
    • papillary ducts
  20. lecture notes
  21. juxtaglomerular apparatus:
    • juxtaglomerular cells: modified smooth muscle cells, function as mechanoreceptors
    • macula densa: modified cuboidal cells in
    • the distal convoluted tubule, functions as chemoreceptors
